Geez - wish I could buy three, too! Anyway, seems like a fairly good deal. If I was really in the market for a 3D TV, I'd go for it. Still, don't like the 120Hz refresh rate. I want a minimum of 240Hz for a 3D TV, but would prefer higher than 400Hz.

I hope Woot has a Cash Grab on 12/26 when I have Christmas money to spend...

We are talking real Slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. I have been waiting all day for the Altec Lansing ear plugs, the golf club and the darn toaster to go and I now feel the three will outlive me and possibly my grandchildren.

Now tomorrow, I will be away from a computer almost all day so I am sure there will be a Woot off then.

OH, did I mention lamps? geesh, that too. So, so boring. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The brand name "Coby" was a marketing decision for this electronics company. They chose that name because it is similar to Sony. I've known people that actually bought a Coby product because they didn't pay attention and thought it was Sony.

That is exactly the type of person they are marketing toward. Those that don't pay attention. I used to work in retail and I've seen countless crappy products put out by this brand. Avoid Coby.

Then get a plasma or something . . . (they're 600 Hz)
Really, what use could someone have for a 480 Hz refresh rate? I have the feeling you fell for marketing hype, hard.

Seems you are incorrect about the origination of the name: "Coby was founded by Young Dong Lee who owns 100 percent of its capital stock. Its name comes from deleting the "w" and second "o" in Cowboy. Lee originally owned an electronics wholesaler called Cowboy."

It's active, and requires the batteries. But that is what you want, active is far better than passive. Passive works by having alternating strips of polarized material, to match the left/right polarization of the glasses. That cuts your resolution in half for 3D, and reduces the brightness even in 2D. Not exactly desirable.

Just order $10 or $20 worth of the batteries from the net, they'll last fine. And if the Samsung glasses will work, they're only $18 from Amazon now for extra sets.
